90'
M. Kean goes off after a red card!
HE'S ON, HE'S OFF!!!! Kean heads off the pitch almost as soon as he came on, and what a wild incident to kick it all off! Kean is held back by Mancini and goes to ground, but before a free-kick can be given his way, Kean kicks the defender in the back of the leg and the referee shows him a straight red!

GOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!!! What a thunderbolt that is!!!! Roma are building slowly and Cristante passes out to Mancini.

39'

Roma captain Pellegrini kicks the game off, and we're underway in the Italian capital!
Hello, and welcome to live coverage of this Serie A fixture, as Roma take on Juventus at Stadio Olimpico.
Roma sit fifth in the Serie A table, two points clear of nearest challengers Atalanta a place below them. They could close a three-point gap to the top four and would overtake Milan with a win in this game, but they come into it having lost at Cremonese last time out – becoming the first side to be defeated by the 19th placed strugglers all season.
Despite a 15-point deduction imposed in late January, Juve have slowly climbed back up the table and currently sit seventh. The Old Lady have won their last four league games in a row, and will be keen to close a seven-point gap to Atalanta a place above them, with their post-deduction form so impressive that they’d be second in the table if given those points back!
ROMA (3-4-2-1): Rui Patricio; Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling, Ibanez; Nicola Zalewski, Bryan Cristante, Nemanja Matic, Leonardo Spinazzola; Lorenzo Pellegrini, Georginio Wijnaldum; Paulo Dybala.
JUVENTUS SUBS: Carlo Pinsoglio, Mattia Perin, Federico Chiesa, Paul Pogba, Federico Gatti, Moise Kean, Leonardo Bonucci, Fabio Miretti, Daniele Rugani, Matias Soule Malvano, Leandro Paredes, Samuel Iling-Junior, Enzo Barrenechea.
JUVENTUS (3-5-1-1): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Juan Cuadrado, Nicolo Fagioli, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic; Angel di Maria; Dusan Vlahovic.
ROMA SUBS: Pietro Boer, Mile Svilar, Rick Karsdorp, Tammy Abraham, Andrea Belotti, Diego Llorente, Zeki Celik, Mady Camara, Marash Kumbulla, Edoardo Bove, Cristian Volpato, Stephan El Shaarawy.
The teams head out onto the pitch, with kick-off just moments away between the Giallorossi and Bianconeri!
We're back for the second half, and given how cagey most of the first 45 minutes were, you get the sense that the first goal of the second period - if it comes - could be crucial!
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until next time, goodbye!
Three ever-so valuable points sees Roma catapulted back into Serie A's top four, overtaking Milan on goal difference and closing the gap to second-placed Inter to three points. Juve, on the other hand, drop to eighth, with Bologna a place above them having a game in hand. The Bianconeri had chances to win this game comfortably, but their poor finishing and indiscipline towards the end of the game continues what has been a frustrating season in every aspect for Max Allegri's side.
